Upcoming Concerts & Events
Cancellation of CEM concerts for March, April and May
We are very sorry to announce that, because of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are cancelling our concerts planned for 19 March (Voces8/ROOTS/Choral Dances) and for 14 April (Elina Mustonen/ Her Infinite Variety: Women of Shakespeare in Words and Music). It may prove possible to rearrange these concerts at a later date or to offer a filmed version.
We will be in contact with everyone who has bought tickets for these two concerts to arrange a refund unless you tell us otherwise: for example, if you would like to keep a credit against a future concert or you are generously willing to convert your ticket payment into a donation to CEM.

Choral Dances
Cancelled
Thursday 19 March 2020 at 7.00pm - Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge
Voces8
Voces8
Internationally acclaimed vocal ensemble VOCES8 presents Choral Dances, a foot-tapping celebration of choral music inspired by dance. In a programme featuring music from chapels and courts, to cinemas and clubs, Renaissance repertoire sits alongside more contemporary Jazz arrangements to get you singing in the aisles, and give VOCES8 the chance to showcase its inimitable stage moves.
The programme includes a short presentation by students from the education project Roots. Roots is delivered through a partnership between Cambridge Early Music, the VOCES8 Foundation, the Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Music, Brook Street Band and Anglia Ruskin University. This year Roots is supported by funding from Arts Council England and the Chapman Charitable Trust.
This concert also supports Early Music Day, which is organised by the European Early Music Network REMA and held annually on the anniversary of Bach's birthday, 21 March.
